  • Publication number: 20250267142
    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide techniques for facilitating a credential-less exchange over a network using a plurality of identifier mapping and member interfaces. The techniques may include receiving, by a client device, user input to an icon corresponding to a software container within a central interface repository. The techniques include providing, using a member-client interface, a container activation request based on the user input. The techniques include receiving, using the member-client interface, a universally unique ephemeral key (UUEK) for the software container, storing the UUEK within the software container for a temporary time period, and providing a message transmission that identifies the UUEK and initiates an exchange request.

  • Publication number: 20250267141
    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide techniques for facilitating a credential-less exchange over a network using a plurality of identifier mappings and member interfaces. The techniques may include receiving an exchange request for executing a value-based exchange. The exchange request is indicative of an UUEK and one or more transaction attributes. The technique include identifying an exchange identifier based at least in part on the UUEK, wherein the exchange identifier corresponds to an exchange data object that comprises an instrument identifier for a service provider instrument of a member platform. The techniques include providing an exchange authorization request to the member platform, receiving an exchange authorization response that is indicative of at least one of a transaction approval or a transaction denial; and providing an exchange response based at least in part on the exchange authorization response.

  • Publication number: 20250078149
    Abstract: Various embodiments are directed to processing and executing digital asset transfers between two users. An example method includes receiving a data object defining a digital asset transfer, and the data object may be a query from the first user to initiate an outbound transfer to a second user or an approval of a request for digital asset units from the second user. The method further includes retrieving account balance data objects associated with the digital asset accounts for the first and second users. The method further includes, responsive to determining that the digital asset transfer satisfies one or more transfer conditions, executing the digital asset transfer by executing a closed-loop debit from the first user and executing a closed-loop credit to the second user. The method further includes updating the account balance data object to reflect the resulting balances of each digital asset account.

  • Publication number: 20240311805
    Abstract: Various embodiments are directed to processing conversions of digital assets to other digital assets. An example method includes determining a source exchange rate for a source digital asset and a fiat currency, determining a target exchange rate for a target digital asset and a fiat currency, and generating an aggregated conversion rate for the source digital asset and the target digital asset using the source exchange rate and the target exchange rate. The method further includes executing a digital asset conversion, which includes causing source digital asset units to be debited from a source digital asset user account and causing target digital asset units to be credited to a target digital asset user account, and subsequently executing fiat currency transactions (e.g., settlements) with a first digital asset exchange system associated with the source digital asset and a second digital asset exchange system associated with the target digital asset.

  • Publication number: 20240095723
    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure are generally directed to processing conversions of digital assets to fiat currency. An example method includes obtaining a conversion rate for a digital asset via an API, providing the conversion rate via a client device, receiving a digital asset conversion request and executing a digital asset conversion within a configurable time period. Executing the digital asset conversion includes causing digital asset units to be debited from the digital asset user account and causing fiat currency units to be credited to a fiat currency user account. The method further includes dynamically providing a notification of execution of the digital asset conversion via the client device, updating account balance data objects associated with the digital asset user account and the fiat currency user account, and subsequent to executing the digital asset conversion, executing a fiat currency transaction (e.g., a settlement) with a digital asset exchange system.
